I tried something new on this customer quilt. Along with the supplies she sent, there were two spools of variegated thread.
My echo quilting has always been done with thread that closely matches the fabric. This variegated thread was so lovely I decided to showcase the thread. Each heart is outlined with a stitch in the ditch done with a matching cream thread. About a 1/2" outside the heart, two rows of quilting is done with the coral/peach thread 1/4 " apart.
I would use variegated thread again, especially on white or off white.
